If a Canadian woman gives birth to a baby while in a foreign country, is the newborn a citizen of Canada?

Posted July 6th, 2011 by immigratecanada and filed in Immigration to Canada

The woman was born and raised in Canada, holding a Canadian passport, but got pregnant and had a baby in the Philippines. The father is Swiss (not sure if that matters at all). Just wondering if she would have to apply for Canadian citizenship from overseas, or if the baby is automatically considered Canadian from birth.
